Password Tech 3.4.4 changelog:
New Features
- PassCube password manager: Databases can be protected by key files in addition to or in place of a regular password; password entry dialog allows selection of key files and creation of new 256-bit key files
- PassCube: Recovery password (and/or key file) can be configured to enable recovery of the database in case the regular master password has been lost; databases can then be opened using either password; alternatively, the recovery password may function as an "administrator key" to allow individuals with elevated rights to access all databases in an organization (provided that all databases have been set up with the same recovery password)
- PassCube: Remember last selected entry and tag(s) when locking database
